Chad: Armed Conflict

Mr. Keith Simpson
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the government of Sudan on its alleged support of armed groups in Chad; and if he will make a statement.

Gillian Merron
We have repeatedly called on the governments of Sudan and Chad to adhere to the Dakar Agreement of 13 March, which committed both governments to stop supporting each other's armed groups. The UK is an observer to the Dakar Contact Group, which monitors the implementation of this agreement.
